I have had similar experiences using less popular libraries. My favorite state machine library released a new version a year ago and the LLMs, regardless of prompts telling them not to, will always use the old API. I find the LLMs are worthless when organizing ideas across multiple files. And, worst, they are not by their nature capable of consistency.
On the other hand, I use d3.js for data visualization which has had a stable API for years, has likely hundreds of thousands of examples that are small contained in a single file, and has many blog posts, O'Reilly books, and tutorials. The LLMs create perfect data visualizations that are high quality. Any request to change one such as adding dynamic sliders or styling tooltips, for example, are done without errors or bugs. People who do data visualization likely will be the first to go. :(
I am concerned that new libraries will not gain traction because the LLMs haven't been trained to implement them. We will be able to implement all the popular libraries, languages, and techniques quickly, however, innovation might stall if we rely on these machines stuck in the past.
